It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.” The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence. That task is all the more pressing after an earlier document dump that...

The dismissals were the first time that prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases and were past their probationary period of federal employment had been fired by the Justice Department. ... At least three federal prosecutors who worked on cases against Jan. 6 rioters were fired Friday by the Justice Department, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials familiar with the dismissals. ... they were “removed from federal service effective immediately.” ... The Trump administration in late January fired probationary federal prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases and prosecutors who worked on former special counsel...

Judicial Watch has sued the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to unseal records from meetings between Twitter executives and the Biden FBI to censor the American people. The lawsuit was filed in 2023 after the FBI ignored a FOIA request for the records of meetings between June 2020 and December 2022. For some reason, Trump’s DOJ is still fighting against Biden’s censorship efforts, which specifically targeted conservatives, including The Gateway Pundit’s reporting on election fraud, being exposed. FRUSTRATING: So @JudicialWatch has to go to Federal court this morning to fight with @AGPamBondi DOJ and @FBIDirectorKash FBI for...

President Trump suggested Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was one of the autopen operators. Trump made the remarks on Tuesday during an Oval Office briefing on wildfires. A reporter asked President Trump if people should see similar ICE operations in the rest of the country after the feds conducted immigration raids in Los Angeles. President Trump said more ICE raids will take place across the country and slammed the Biden Regime for facilitating the invasion of illegal aliens. Trump said Joe Biden’s autopen – and whoever operated the autopen… like Lisa Monaco – facilitated the invasion. Recall that Lisa...

Federal officials are sounding the alarm after violent mobs confronted ICE agents in Los Angeles, blaming what they call “reckless and dangerous” rhetoric from Democrat leaders for fueling the chaos. As agents attempted to carry out lawful immigration enforcement, they were met with hostility and aggression from protesters emboldened by the left’s ongoing campaign to demonize border enforcement. Over 7,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers heading into the weekend. They slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property. Multiple people were detained in LA by immigration agents following the violent protests. Demonstrators also...

Attorney General Pam Bondi's links to Qatar are under scrutiny again following reports that President Donald Trump will be gifted a luxury plane from the Qatari government. Bondi worked as a foreign lobbyist for the nation of Qatar, earning $115,000 a month in the role which she held in 2020 and in the run up to the World Cup in 2022. In this role, she lobbied Congress on behalf of Qatari interests. She also worked in a separate lobbying position for the Washington, D.C.-based firm Ballard Partners, where she also lobbied on behalf of Qatari interests and several conglomerates including...

UPDATE: A formal letter has just been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey after he posted a disturbing message on social media using the phrase “86” in reference to President Trump. That term is widely understood to mean kill or eliminate. The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access...

A prominent critic of President Donald Trump sends what would appear to be a coded message: They subtly display four digits: an “86” followed by the two digits that denote Trump’s presidency.But the year is not 2025 with former FBI director James B. Comey; it’s 2020 with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). While Comey on Thursday stoked controversy by posting a photo of seashells arranged in a formation of “86 47,” Whitmer engaged in a similar form of political protest five years ago. She appeared on television with a tiny “86 45” pin displayed on the table next to her.The...

With so much going on these days — on multiple fronts — it's difficult to keep up with it all. On Tuesday alone, there were multiple cabinet secretaries testifying before Congress, President Donald Trump made multiple appearances, commenting on everything from trade to FIFA, the Houthis cried "Uncle!", and India and Pakistan appear primed to bust out into an all-out war. All of which is to say: I didn't have an opportunity to watch Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's testimony before the House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee oversight hearing live. But looking back over some of the key...

On Tuesday, Attorney General Pamela Bondi held a press conference announcing a week-long, multi-agency and multi-law enforcement and tribal operation headed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the New Mexico District Attorney’s Office. The operation resulted in huge drug busts and multiple arrests of high-level members of the Sinaloa cartel. According to Bondi, the agents garnered 11.5 kilos of fentanyl, including three million fentanyl pills — the largest seizure in the nation's history. The main head of the Sinaloa cartel, Alberto Salazar Amaya, was arrested along with five others, all in the country illegally. Amaya was arrested in Salem,...

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Head, Elon Musk, made a massive revelation while speaking to Lara Trump on her Fox News program, My View. During the segment, Musk explained how over 100,000 federal workers were taking unemployment while still collecting paychecks from the government. For context, DOGE was established during one of Trump’s first executive orders and charged with fighting fraud, waste, and graft in the federal government. Since the department started work, it has had a number of bombshell reports that have electrified conservatives. Such was shown when Elon Musk appeared on Fox alongside Lara Trump on May 2,...

Almost six years after the suspicious “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein, notorious billionaire financier and pedophile, his most famous accuser has also died. Virginia Giuffre, who claimed, as a minor, she was forced into sexual acts with both Epstein and Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reportedly died by “suicide” last Thursday. At the age of sixteen, Giuffre said she was recruited to work for Epstein by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in December of 2021 on five counts of assisting Epstein in his sexual abuse of underage girls. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Friday the Department of Justice (DOJ) will change the policy that allows journalists to hide records and testimony related to suspects in a criminal investigation. In a memo first obtained by Axios, Bondi wrote that federal employees intentionally leaking sensitive information to the media undermines the ability of the Department of Justice to keep America safe. "This conduct is illegal and wrong, and it must stop," Bondi wrote. "Therefore, I have concluded that it is necessary to rescind Merrick Garland's policies precluding the Department of Justice from seeking records and compelling testimony from members...

This week, US District Judge William Orrick issued an injunction barring the Trump Administration from withholding federal aid from sanctuary cities, saying "over the years cities all across the country have become used to receiving huge portions of their funding from the federal government. Using this dependency to attain their cooperation with the enforcement of federal immigration laws is extortion, pure and simple. I cannot allow it to go forward." Tony LoPresti, counsel for Santa Clara County, hailed the Judge's action, calling it "a life-saving affirmation of the cities' rights to continue business-as-usual without undue interference from the federal government."...

Judicial Watch President @TomFitton joins “The Chris Salcedo Show” on ‪@NewsmaxTV‬ to discuss Judicial Watch suing the DOJ for the Epstein Files, and activist judges interfering in the Trump administration’s actions on immigration.

The fentanyl seized by our team in this case could have yielded over 1.5 million lethal doses - enough to kill everyone in Portland twice.".. Federal and local law enforcement agencies arrested 46 Honduran nationals on drug trafficking charges in Portland, Oregon, following an extensive joint operation to disrupt open-air drug markets in Multnomah County. Authorities seized an array of illicit drugs, firearms, and cash. The Honduran nationals were reportedly working on behalf of the Mexican Sinaloa Drug Cartel, a designated foreign terror group, according to a press release. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Seattle Field Division said that the...

More than a dozen senior lawyers — many with decades of experience working under presidents of both parties — have been reassigned, the current and former officials say. Some have resigned in frustration after they were moved to less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise, according to the sources. “It’s been a complete bloodbath,” said a senior Justice Department lawyer in the division who is not authorized to speak publicly... The managerial jobs vacated in recent weeks have not been filled, so the traditional work of the division has all but stopped.

During a swearing-in ceremony for Paul Atkins as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Donald Trump was asked point-blank about the long-awaited release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. A reporter asked, “When can we expect the Epstein documents to be released?” Trump replied, “Which documents?” “The Epstein files,” the reporter clarified. President Trump responded calmly but pointedly: “I don’t know. I’ll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don’t know.”
